Hi,
I started using ST in 1990 and I have developed an application with VSE for
company management (MIDA - Management Integrato Dati Aziendali) at the
beginning of 2000 and at present there are still more than 300 users and I
integrated it with Pharo for WEB applications.
Now, I am integrating it
True, some applications are very long-lived. But in my experience, a great
many applications are EOL'd within 20 years. It may happen for many
different reasons, some technical, some political, some because the
technology has grown out of date (which causes HR and support difficulties).

I don’t know if a 10 year lifespan is exceptional. I wrote an application in
1986 that’s still running. Development took 6 weeks. Including testing.

I watched the video again, carefully, and here's my takeaway...
The video is aimed at developers and would-be developers who:
— have never heard of Smalltalk, or do not know anything significant about
the language or its history
— are not aware that Sm
Hmmm, I apparently guessed wrong. :-(

Thanks Richard. Funny thing... I was typing my respo
I'm just guessing, but perhaps COSCO's acquisition of OOCL forced them to
realign their software infrastructure. COSCO is obviously not a Smalltalk
shop. This wouldn't be the first time an acquisition forced major corporate
changes.

I've read a number of LinkedIn posts from Mariano Martínez Peck about recent
innovations to VA Smalltalk, IIRC. Seems to me that Instantiations are doing
a good job of innovating, too.

The last place was a few days ago:

But... a whole longer discussion took place a few months ago...but I cannot
find it now.

Many things seem to be possible in times where talks like "How to get rid of
Smalltalk" [1] will be presented on
a Smalltalk conference (here ESUG 2019).

I'm not a native speaker but grammatically speaking "used" (simple
past) means you did use it in the past but there is no information
about whether you use it now, and "have been using" (present perfect)
means you did use it in the past and continue to do so in the present.

I didn't get the sense that "used" means its no longer being used.
Yesterday I used a keyboard to write an email, and I'm doing the same thing
today.

Smalltalk Meetup and they are often talking about improvements and things they
are doing (in a general sense, as obviously they can’t share specific details)

Well, all software applications eventually meet their EOL. IRIS-2 had a good,
long run.
Note that the same thing applies to JWARS. It was EOL'd in 2010, but it was
operational for over a decade. That's pretty damn good!
None of this takes away from Smalltalk's efficacy and power.

"Used Smalltalk" doesn't imply that they stopped using Smalltalk, esp. if

Yes. And I think it's even more sad than the containers example doesn't
work anymore... AFAIK they replaced the system.

It’s very entertaining but it seems a bit sad - it’s a shame it refers to
JP-Morgan as “used Smalltalk “ as actually they are “still using Smalltalk” (so
it’s not in the past)
